Synagogue of Carpentras, Jewish heritage site in Carpentras, France.
The synagogue features a monumental staircase leading to a two-level prayer space with a blue ceiling decorated with stars and wooden paneling.
Built in 1367, the synagogue underwent reconstruction in the 18th century after a lengthy dispute with religious authorities regarding its dimensions.
The basement contains a medieval matzoh oven, ritual bath, and women's prayer room where services were conducted in the Judeo-Provençal language.
Visitors can discover the synagogue's history through guided tours, with advance reservations recommended due to limited opening hours.
During the French Revolution, the building temporarily served as a meeting place for Jacobins before returning to religious services in 1800.
